  1. just look on alibaba
  2. Of course there is only ONE missing 1933 penny , so marley bob must be pretty lucky in her life to find three
  3. To be honest a lot of cabinets are bought secondhand - here the main problem is what size trays are in it and do they fit the coins in your collection. You often have to wait years to find a suitable one ......
  4. I imagine the production of a few hundred coin cabinets will mean nothing in co2 terms when compared to the waste produced by the hundreds of minor wars rageing over the world
  5. Think you would get around £140 for the 1856 and £40 for the 1843 only aprox values of course - I really love the 1856
  6. I would describe the 1856 PT as rare and the 1843 as scarce there is also the OT 1856 which makes most penny collectors want 2 coins of this year - the 1843 is of similar rarity but as there are not two varieties most think its more common . Both coins are, while not in the best of grade , collectable.
  7. Face coverings have been made mandatory for everyone working in the House of Commons except MPs. In updated guidance, the Commons authorities said all staff, visitors, contractors and press must cover their faces to combat the spread of Covid. But it remains up to individual MPs to decide whether to follow suit - and many Conservatives have chosen not to. Sajid Javid has said he will wear a mask for Wednesday's Budget when the chamber will be packed. But the health secretary said on Monday it was a "personal decision" for ministers and backbenchers as to whether they did too. Arrogant b**ards
  8. Push the almonds, oats, peas, coconuts (the list goes on) and rice to the side... baristas may soon be whipping up lattes with a new alternative "milk" from potatoes. Milk from the humble spud is set to be one of 2022's biggest food trends, according to supermarket Waitrose's annual Food and Drink report. Researchers have predicted that the market for dairy alternatives could almost double over the next five years, as increased dairy allergies and concerns about its environmental impact push shoppers to look for plant-based options. Shoppers spent a total of £394m on plant-based milk in Britain in 2020, up 32% from 2019, according to market research firm Mintel. UK public now eating significantly less meat I wonder it their teats might be hard to find LOL
  9. The copper price continued to rally towards record highs on Tuesday as signs of extremely tight supply outweighed concerns that slowing growth in China will impact demand. Traders were paying huge premiums for quickly deliverable copper after stockpiles in the London Metal Exchange’s (LME) warehouse system tumbled to their lowest level in decades. Sign Up for the Copper Digest Copper for delivery in December rose on the Comex market in New York, touching $4.8055 per pound ($10,572 per tonne), a record high. CASH copper on the London Metal Exchange also soared to a new record high overnight. Spot copper jumped 7.2% to $11,299.50 per tonne. Prices of the metal used in power and construction leaped 10% last week and are up and more than 30% this year after gaining 26% in 2020.
  10. Like that old addage "Why do dogs lick their balls" Answer "Because they can"
  11. https://www.ft.com/content/8f80e1fa-562c-4a1d-907d-ff53bf305a06 Looks like the next shortage might be loose change
  12. The number of times I have heard "I have this really rare churchill crown/ 1977 crown Would you like it for fifty quid? Fifty pence more like .
  13. I can see a few other nice coins in there a rare find indeed , pity they will almost certainly go streight to the usa - nevermind
  14. How many ears does captain kirk have ? Three A left ear a right ear and a final front ear
  15. It wasn't the name that put folks off but the fact they were full of klingons 😅😅😅
  16. Don't listen to that william shatner. He's a waste of space. LOL
  17. I emailed the seller to say it was a forgery - I never got a reply
  18. So great seeing the different opinions on the 1882 no H penny . Surely what these forums were created for . ***** Five stars everyone
  19. I never realised there was only one Gs over 1874 farthing known till the late sixties , acording to peck There must be at least 20 floating around now very rare but not unobtainable
  20. Would not mind the set of tin farthings and halfpenies of charles II james II and william and mary 1689 farthing , yummy
  21. I would think there was more than one way to bronze a coin so possably several diferent ways were tried with various degrees of sucess. The coin above is bronze not copper so an experimental and maybe unique method was probably chosen. Remember its a very limited run of coins as all 1860 bronze patterns were possably 20 exist in various metals pos auctioned to collectors . Numismatics was a tight circle of collectors back then.
  22. Are they put in some sort of acid bath b4 striking , the process is probably writen down in peck somewhere , otherwise try the obvious and google it, LOL
